PAGE ONE.
1.1: A dark
nursery: in a Lay-z-Boy is JESSICA JONES with little DANIELLE on a cushion
getting her in position to be breast fed. The cushion is called a
My-Breast-Friend and helps mothers get babies into position to nurse.
CAGE [OP]: How
many feedings are we up to now?
JESSICA: ‘Bout…12 since midnight.
1.2: On the floor
is LUKE CAGE, sprawled out in a starfish formation. He’s exhausted, down for
the count.
CAGE: That’s
the problem having superhero parents, superhuman
kids need the fuel. Uhhhhh.
We
need an industrial grade breast
pump.
1.3: Panning up
to the Jessica.
JESSICA: Misty
showed me this thing.
CAGE [OP]: Does
it involve punching you in the boob?
Because I’m not doing it.
1.4: From
Jessica’s perspective: she’s looking down at Luke on the floor. He’s staring up
at her. A point I’d like to emphasize here is how exhausted he is—for the first
time in his superhero life. He’s totally in love with this woman and their
child despite this being the greatest challenge of this adult life.
JESSICA: No.
Going for a walk.
1.5 CUT TO: Luke
is pushing a stroller with Danielle. Jessica is alongside him. It’s a dark
night in Harlem, and Jessica Jones is punching out a MUGGER—as they take their
kid for a night walk.
CAGE: You
just wanted to go on patrol.
